DCC 1/2009, 3/2009

This case involved an employee who had resigned and was claiming his dues including holiday pay. The employer tried to argue they did not deserve holiday pay. This was incorrect as the employee had given notice of his resignation and had not been paid holiday pay for two years. The employee's argument that the court had calculated the damages on the wrong start date was also accepted.
